Just the goal deserves a rising star nomination don't you think?
Dunstan's little photobomb haha

Would have surely been mentioned previously but Jack Steven's last five minutes 
With love, Munga.
He didn't even look at the goals, intuition. He looks inside and sees no one, then just a quickly it's on his boot.

When he pressured Stanley I would say
Always was. We got Gresham who we always wanted, and now just need to get Carlisle fit and firing. He was a happy boy on Twitter after the game.
Dunstan did well in that contest flying in and nudging Selwood away from Steven. Watched it back 3 or 4 times.

The best thing about the win was how much it mattered to the the players.. After close losses to Hawks and North they really revelled in that win last night..
Well deserved too

Back in January I said anything but Finals would be a disappointment this year.
Well...
@ Gold Coast
v Essendon
v Melbourne
v Western Bulldogs
v North Melbourne
v Carlton
v Sydney
v Richmond
v Brisbane
That leaves us with 11 wins, then if we can knock off 2 of either North, Dogs, Swans or Tigers, we'll play finals this year. Unbelievable to think it's actually a reality.
I think at our best we can beat North and Richmond, and could give the Dogs a run.
Going to be a really interesting last couple of months of the season but ******* hell I'm proud of the effort the guys put out there last night. I said here earlier in the week that if we started well we'd be in for a good show and exactly that happened. Gresham was sublime, Stuv should be an AA this year, Riewoldt dominant again.
It's just such a good feeling seeing the players rewarded for their hard work. Some of the calls last night didn't go our way but we stuck fat and pulled it off anyway.
Now at 6-7 with the fixture blowing wide open for us, anything is possible. I hope they celebrate this win but make sure we take care of the next couple of weeks against the Suns & Bombers.
Just so proud to be a Saints supporter tonight, it's moments like these that make you proud to be a Saint. Onwards and upwards from here.

Also I've been a big fan of Minch and backed him up when most on here wanted him to be dropped..
He showed tonight why he will be a good solid AFL player. Hard at it and composed with the footy. Need more blokes like him

Always amazed by how many times it looks like Jack Steven is gonna be tackled but then he arches his back and his little shuffling legs seem to kick into another gear an he scoots away.
Love how he just takes the game on.
He could very well end up a 3 or more time Trevor Barker medalist by the time his career is through.

What a fantastic win, it's tough being a saints fan living in Geelong but not so tough this week! So proud of the boys, thought we were gone when they got 9 points up but our boys just kept at it. No need to get ahead of ourselves with finals talk, just enjoy the ride and see where it takes us.
Read the Geelong board and they received the bad umpiring. Anyway a win against Geelong is a good win. Too many arrogant Geelong supporters out there. The competition is pretty even but they seem to think they're miles a head, a good reality check needed.
The umpiring was really bad both ways last night; that wasn't what cost Geelong. It was their ridiculous squandering of opportunities that did.

Why'd you have to choose?..... Both will do very nicely, thank you!
The only thing missing is a "significantly pleasing" photo of Richo!!

Well firstly what a win. Ordinary sides dont lead by 5 goals and then get overtaken by 2 goals and still win. We are better than ordinary. Another thing is selectors know more than us on here so next Thursday when certain players are picked and others aren't can we give them some credit instead of looking for faults.
Now on some players. Obviously Ross was clearly best last night. I got that completely wrong but what it tells us is certain players develop at different rates. Gresham is going to be a freak show. Steven , when it counted, was unbelievable. He is elite and don't doubt it. Roo well what more can you say. One of the most courageous players I have seen. Went with a pies and cats supporter last night and I mentioned there are still morons who have doubts on him and their words were simple, don't ever listen to things they say about footy because clearly they have no idea.
The great thing also about last night is we didn't have many great players but we were great as a team so when people doubt Richo's coaching and ask why haven't we improved under him the simple answer is the side and that is a hell of a lot more important than individual players. As big Kev would say I'm excited.

He does not stop. He's the energizer bunny!
I wasn't saying that it did, just pointing it out that some Geelong fans are sooking about it. I didn't see the match but I suspect you're right that the umpiring was poor both ways and Geelong stuffed up opportunities. One example on their board was the menzel. Anyway well deserved win.

Was speaking to a guy who plays at my local club and also works at the saints and he was saying Jack is impossible to stop. If he isn't getting possessions he is doing pressure acts which the club now rate as the number one stats in how a side is going. They love him at the club. Probably more than we believe. Interesting is the club don't rate clearances and contested possessions that highly.
